Monday Blessings #18: Nov Ed

Hello readers,

It's been around a month since my last blessings post.

In a few days from now I'm about to get almost a suitcase full of chocolate. I'm not lying! I'll take a picture.

In a little over month I get to go to camp and see my awesome sisters!

I have to put in a bit of selfish promo: it's been two months since I self published my first poetry collection!! You can get it on Smashwords for less than $2!

Also in three months I'm self publishing another poetry collection. I made the official announcement last week!

Other blessings... let's see... a job, two cats, family. Finally got two new baju kurung after eight years (my last trip to Malaysia); these two new ones were sent thru two mutual friends to get to me.

More love, less money.

I'm blessed to rekindle my love for baking before I add it into my New Years resolution.

Last but not least I'm glad to be participating in NaNoWriMo after a month off. I never really took a break before this one. I never was really into novel writing until maybe last year. I know this year for sure. I did start writing awhile back but more short stories.

Enough rant, thank you and love! Have a good week!

Hearing About IWSG

Hello readers, I was reading Ali's post about this support group that talks about writerly doubts. I have doubts and I shall share them because that's the point of a support group. I used to be insecure about traditional publishing, that no one with accept my writing. Then I heard of self publishing. Yet that added to my insecurities. I have no money or talent to showcase my writing. After IndieReCon I felt a better, yet once the high went away, I find it's only a little bit better. I need a team, I need help. I call for help, but I don't get replies. That's another insecurity, I don't think I have any fans. My blog is becoming dead and I keep thinking of deactivating my twitter. The only reason I stay is for the knowledge. And the worse insecurity, dare I say it. All the above add to me... wanting to quit writing. I have little motivation and that motivation is to show my Muslim community you don't have to be a doctor or lawyer or teacher to be...
